The Platform Committee of the Iowa Democratic Party has completed preliminary work on the party platform for 2004. A preliminary report of the platform subcommittees has been posted for public comment.

The preliminary platform is available for comment at http://www.iowademocrats.org/forum

The minority report backs Dean's position.
Neither support the Mass. Supreme Court.
